Zoning Docket 082/26 — Transient Lodging text amendment
New Orleans
Description
A citywide rewrite of transient lodging rules implementing the Transient Lodging Study. Commissioners amended it to block short-term rentals in the French Quarter's VCE-1 district, cap small hotels at one per block, and require conditional use approval for small hotels in HUB-1 districts before adopting it 7-0.
Impact summary
Tighter short-term rental rules citywide aim to protect long-term housing and neighborhood character, while Canal Street keeps an exception to help fill vacant upper floors of historic buildings.
